Drilling holes is required to install fiber optic cables
Directional drilling is a trenchless technology that allows contractors to install underground utilities—such as fiber optic cables—without digging large trenches. (FOA) was founded in 1995 to help develop the workforce to build the fiber optic networks to support a rapid expansion in communications and the Internet. It forms a critical backbone for modern communication networks across both urban and rural environments. When the trench has been set out, pilot holes needs to be dug at 25 – 30 m (80-100 feet) intervals, particularly at points where the new trench crosses existing services. It requires specialist equipment to plow a hole in the ground and simultaneously install the cable straight into the hole.

Tuvalu uses fiber optic cables and pigtails
Tuvalu's connection is delivered through branching unit integration into the Central Pacific Cable (CPC) submarine network, providing permanent high-capacity international fiber connectivity to the country. The Tuvalu Vaka Cable is the first international telecommunications cable connecting Tuvalu, being a branch of 688km linking Funafuti, the capital of Tuvalu, with the trunk of the Bulikula cable system, part of Google's Pacific Connect initiative. TUVALU celebrated the official activation of its submarine cable, the Tuvalu Vaka Cable, on 24 October 2025. Funded by Australia, the United States, Taiwan, New Zealand and Japan and supported by Google's inclusion of Tuvalu in the Central Pacific Connect system, the activation of the cable is a. Google's Product and Service Innovation Global Submarine Cable system director Shirshendu Bhattacharya addressed concerns about the reliability of a submarine fiber optic cable connecting Tuvalu while also acknowledging the threat of rising sea levels and emphasising proactive measures to mitigate.
